SAN JOSE, Costa Rica - April 16, 2013 - PRLog -- The crown jewel event for medical travel and tourism in Central and South America  zeniths this month in the form of the International Medical Travel and Business Summit to be held for the fourth year in a row on the beautiful Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. This year’s summit has garnered a lot of international press attention. So what’s all the fuss about?

“Costa Rica has become the premier destination for medical travel and tourism in the Western hemisphere” says Massimo Manzi the director of PROMED, the primary organizer of the event. The confluence of accessibility, political stability, and most important only the highest quality and standards of care to be found in the West has created exploding demand and amazing opportunities for large and small buyers of healthcare. Costa Rica is a prosperous and well-endowed country and has always been above all, a popular tourism destination. It is this tourism infrastructure coupled with only the highest standards of care that has allowed Costa Rica to become such a powerhouse in the highly competitive medical travel arena.
“Our biggest challenge is educating the consumer and the summit is a marvelous opportunity to highlight our medical providers and to showcase the incredible opportunities that exist by placing buyers and sellers of medical tourism together. It is our honor to showcase what Costa Rica has to offer. We are very proud of our medical community and our tourism providers, they have come together to provide a wonderful environment for medical travel and are truly responsible for this surge in medical tourism to Costa Rica” says Mr. Manzi.
In Costa Rica this summit is considered a ”must attend” event for any medical or tourism provider that wishes to be a part of the Medical Tourism phenomenon taking place here. For buyers of healthcare which include insurance agencies, hospitals and self-insured corporations among others this is a chance to sample the wares so to speak. Attendees will be treated in grand style as this year’s event will be hosted on the beach at the swanky Marriott Los Suenos Golf Resort in Playa Herradura.
Among the important themes at this years' summit are the "Medical Travel Model"® for Self insured corporations, emerging SEO strategies for medical tourism and the importance of Spanish SEO. Also renowned speaker Patrick Goodness will be expostulating on healthcare marketing using relationship building in the emerging digital age.
